Hi,
I'm running RH9 and noted this error en /var/log/messages:

"kernel: (scsi:A:6:0): parity error detected in Status phase.
SEQADDR(0x7f) SCSIRATE(0x88)"

The SEQADDR change with this values: 0x9e, 0xa5, 0x82

The Adaptec card is: AHA-2940 U/UW/D AIC-7881U

The mobo is an ASUS P4S-533-MX running a Pentium 4 1700Mhz

Anyone has seen this message? I want to know if this is a critical data
loss error.
I also have seen this error during install of RH8.0 in the same machine.



Oliver,


I'll assume your cabling and terminations are OK.

Is this a one-time error, or at least an infrequent one? If so, it's
probably a random data error on Channel A, SCSI ID=6, LUN=0 (a tape
drive?). I wouldn't worry about it unless you start seeing multiple
errors. In that case you could have a cable problem or a device that needs
maintenance.


Its a SCSI disc, a Maxtor 10KIII. I see like 3 message in a row and then stops.
Every few minutes I receive again those message.


You could check the parity configurations of your Adaptec card and device
#6 to make sure they're the same. If you disable parity on device #6
(usually via a jumper), parity will still be generated but any errors will
not be transmitted down the cable to the host adapter.


Ok, will check the hard disk for jumpers and in the manual.

Will keep informed.

Many thanks
Oliver
